USWNT's Sam Mewis Scores Man City's Winner in Champions League Opener

Sam Mewis had already scored in the Women's Super League and Women's FA Cup competitions in her brief time with Manchester City. Now she can add UEFA Women's Champions League to the list.

Mewis scored the game-winning goal in the first leg of Man City's round-of-32 matchup vs. Swedish champion Goteborg on Wednesday, giving the English side a 2-1 aggregate lead to take into the home leg.

Mewis, as she's done so frequently for the U.S. women's national team and North Carolina Courage, got on the end of a cross (this one from Caroline Weir) to head home the 76th-minute decisive goal.
